COVID-19

• COVID-19 is spread through close contact with an infected person

• It is spread primarily from person to person through droplets from the nose or mouth, usually when a person coughs, sneezes or speaks; the uninfected person breathes in droplets from the infected person

• The droplets can also land on objects and surfaces around the infected person or be passed on when the infected person coughs/sneezes into their hand and then touches an object or surface such as a door handle or light switch. An inanimate object contaminated with an infectious agent is known as a fomite and can be porous such as clothes or paper or non-porous such as metal or plastic. The infection may be passed on when the object is touched and the person then touches their own face, in particular the eyes, nose or mouth
